it's clearly a bad thing for the romney campaign in this cycle. >> no, the romney campaign would say it's a bad thing. maybe it's more aesthetically pleasing to have lots of people screaming instead of one narrative. if i were to answer the question is it better or worse, i think i would probably go back to just a way of judging that. how well the public interest is served vis-a-vis the issue of corruption and the appearance of corruption. which is something that as a journalist, like, there's two things you look for here. first is you're frustrated by the lack of transparency. what we haven't talked about, there's tons of 501c4 money coming into these campaigns, same giant checks, in many cases wealthy individuals there could be wealthy individuals that are only giving privately we don't know are on the radar. it's a huge problem for public accountability reason, and if they are adding to the color and chorus of democracy but they're doing it in a way that fundamentally conceals who is speaking, um, in a way that could destroy the product, i do think that's something the public or m

mitt romney hit back at him on that. let's take a look. >> i spent 25 years in business. if i had a business executive come to me and say they wanted to spend a few hundred billion dollars to put a colony on the moon, i would say you're fired. >> professor, you think that's an example of romney at his best during debate, being straightforward and asserting business experience, what he knows. >> i do. i think that that accomplished a couple of things. it diminished newt gingrich, made him look sort of foolish for coming up with that idea, then subliminally reinforced romney as someone with some business credentials. he got to refer to himself as a ceo. that's what you want to do, ideally, is a two-pronged attack. it helps you and hurts the other guy. >> patrick, mitt romney does kind of struggle sometimes when it comes to attempts at humor or levity. he made a george costanza reference that felt a little dated, not that there's anything wrong with that, but there was this exchange he had with rick perry. i want to play that. >> rick, i'll tell you what, 10,000 bucks? $10,0

he is quite close to mitt romney. he knew him before -- >> how about the fact, i was going to say, how about the fact today he will speak by phone to both. a world leader doing that -- >> that's a danger for him, i have known him a long time. he is always moving forward. the danger is that he can involve himself too demonstrably in the american election this time with the kinds of statements he has been making, positions he has been taking. he is imposing himself on what the american people need to decide for themselves. >> take it in the reverse, how often, you could say in not so friendly democracies, america over the years may have gotten involved in leadership elections, but in some of the most friendly allies, how often do american presidents do that? >> they generally stand back, let the american people make a decision. in fact, at this time which is a volatile time in that part of the world, what is also striking to me is that this gives president obama cover to some degree, not just on the iran issue. >> take

romney really pivots. he uses the initial question to swing us over to obama and the democrats and how they are against wealth, supposedly. there is also the reaction from the audience. one of the thing that was striking about this year's round of primary debates was the role of that live audience and how they became the influence and how people are perceiving them. in general election debates, the audiences seem to be much more behave. clearly, the audience played a big part in the whole tone of that clip you showed. >> warren decker, these candidates have lines and talking points. how you come across conversationally rather than sound like somebody who is regurgitating the talking points you have been rehearsing? >> that is probably one of the most difficult things you could ever do. i think it is one of those things that you can try to do it and improve your ability to do it by practicing a lot and trying to play on moments that would allow you to convey yourself well. the person that was really good at
